Hi folks - 

I've got a question that I've been worrying at for the last week or so...

I'm running a sparc 2 with -current for a YP server on our network, and would
like to have it serve the YP maps, but not have users enabled for logins.

So, I seperated the password maps - the /etc/passwd (and /etc/master.passwd)
contains just the bare minimum of entries, basically the dist one plus the
YP entry (+:*:...).  My yp password map contains all of the non-system accounts
that I need.  

Now this works great for most things, but I've run into a snag... users cannot
change their passwords - rpc.yppasswdd will only work with the default location
in /etc, which nukes the system files....

Has anyone tried a setup like this?  If so, I'd GREATLY appreciate any insights
you might have toward a solution...

Thanks in advance,
Ken
